Power Meta Brain

True to Toshibaâ€™s effort in continually producing high picture quality, now the latest Power Meta Brain engine not only houses the technologies which perfectly answer the 5 core visual aspects of display goals: Real, Clean, Clear, Smooth and Original but also encompasses the 10-Bit Video Processing technology to create 1 billion colors and smoother gradation.

Full HD

Toshiba REGZA Full High Definition LCD TV seizes the maximum potential of the HD resolution. The LCD panel holds the exact number of pixels (1920 x 1080) to allow pixel-to-pixel reproduction of 1080i/1080p HD contents. Standard definition contents can also be enriched to fit the HD resolution, resulting in finer images on screen.

10-Bit video processing

The Power Meta Brain / Meta Brain Pro 100 engines deploy a powerful LSI that uses 5 advance technologies to achieve 10-bit processing for all stages from input to output. While 8-bit technology can produce 16 million colours, 10-bit produces 64 times as many, or over 1 billion colours. This much larger quantity of data means that the colours you see are more accurate and the transitions between colours are smoother. The result is a much more realistic picture, delivering all the vivid colour intensity that was present in the original source.

EXACT SCAN MODE

The Exact Scan Mode maximizes the performance of Full HD panels by displaying the full HD image of 1920 x 1080 in REGZA Full HD models.

When a HD video signal (1080i/1080p) is input into a conventional WXGA LCD panel (1366 x 768), the signal undergoes a scaling process, which does not output the true quality of the HD 1080i/1080p signal. Consequently, there will only be 92% of the original picture displayed on screen after scaling.

Ambient Light Sensor

Naturally, the amount of light in the room affects how you see the picture, but until now TVs have not been able to do anything about this. Thanks to the Ambient Light Sensor, REGZA LCD TVs are able to respond to room lighting conditions, adjusting their contrast to ensure optimum picture quality. This smart television will adapt itself to the amount of light in your room to show the most optimal picture. There is a sensor in the TV that will detect the amount of light in room the tv is in.

INTELLIGENT BACKLIGHT CONTROL

Precise adjustment of the backlight behind the pixel array is necessary to obtain optimum picture quality. In REGZA LCD TVs, the brightness of the backlight is automatically adjusted according to a sophisticated histogram analysis of the brightness and location of dark portions in each scene. Deeper blacks in dark scenes (where dark portions cover most of the screen) are reproduced by reducing the intensity of the backlight, resulting in greatly improved contrast.

3D Colour Management

Most TVs have a colour adjustment knob, but REGZA LCD TVs go much further, enabling you to adjust hue, saturation and colour brightness for each of the six basic colours separately. You can perfectly adjust skin colour or grass colour, for example, without affecting the other colours.

REGZA LINK

With REGZA link function, REGZA TV remote control unit will be able to communicate with other devices with HDMI-CEC functions connected via the HDMI terminals to operate the functions of connected components like a DVD player and PC.

This is a multisystem TV. All Multi System TVs in the market do not have a ATSC digital TV tuner: What does this mean? To watch digital channels (ATSC Broadcasting in US) you need a digital source/tuner like a cable box, digital tuner, satellite service, etc. If you don't have this, you will need to purchase a Set Top TV converter box.
